Last week, we discovered the most grisly skeleton in Don Draper’s closet—a 90s dating-show segment featuring a 25-year-old Jon Hamm, a woman who loves foot massages, and the word “fabulosity.” A week later, Hamm made a Mad Men promotional tour stop on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, where he courageously watched the archival clip in front a full studio audience. And, in a show of class befitting his AMC drama, the actor took complete responsibility for the embarrassing moment in time.

Once the clip ended, Hamm paused a few seconds before joking, “And that’s how I met your mother.”

When Ferguson asked whether the girl had picked Hamm for a date, he assured the host, “Oh, no, she did not. Would you have picked me?”

“Now I would,” Ferguson responded.

“That was 1995,” Hamm said, setting the scene. “I was all of 24 years old and making some questionable decisions with my life.” And Hamm does not blame the person who uploaded the incriminating video to YouTube. He actually thinks it’s entertaining to think of some poor intern uploading a stack of 90s dating game shows to the Internet and recognizing Hamm’s face.

Ferguson made sure to ask whether Hamm’s longtime girlfriend, Jennifer Westfeldt, was aware of the 90s dating-show appearance. “Yes, I think I told her about that years and years ago,” Hamm explained. “She may have put it out of her mind. It was well before we were dating, obviously. We’ve been dating for 16 years.”

As for whether he is regretful he did not win the dating show all of those years back: “Oh, I’m not,” Hamm said. “Think of how the world could have changed.”
